Mrs. Logan.

In all of the sad pictures which
nation i'm mourning for Gen. Logan
conjures up at this time, there is none
which so touch its heart as that of the
heroic wife in the first agony of her
great bereavement. History does not
furnish brighter example of woman
ly self-abnegation and entire devotion
than that of Mrs. Logan to her hus-
band. For years, dating back to the
day that they stood before the mar
riage altar together, she has been lrst
strong right hand, entering into his
life and purposes with keen apprecia-
ton of his needs, with power to
adapt herself to circumstances, with
an intellectual force united to grace
full. ready tact, that it is given to few
few women to possess. Her influence
over him was supreme, and she loved
him with strength and fervor that
knew no change nor failing. Gen.
Logsn's quick, passionate, though al
ways kind nature, frequently made
him enemies, which she, ever watch
ing, invariably turned into frie nds, for
none but q pitiful nature could still
think i'll of man who was SO loved
and honored by such woman. Moth
ing that could work good or Ill for
her husband escaped her keen eye.
and she was ready to sieze the first and
ward off the last, while he, giant that
he was, walked onward, half of the
time ignorant of what she was doing.
Her hopes and ambitions were solely
for him, never for herself. There are
none to say, no, not one, that Mrs
Logan ever took step forward thai
was not prompted by her devotion tC

easier for her to do this. for these
